In my case, I think my love for Siegfried hurt my ability to get into the rest of the album. So many times I would just loop that one song.
Yay, a fellow "Siegfried" admirer!
I had a dream once where they got back together... 😢 That's how much I freaking miss that band. They went out with their best song.

Dropping the g-word (goth) is enough to get me to check out an album real quick. Listening to Sister now for the first time--this is good stuff.
I had a laugh when I recently revisited the 2018 metal albums list, and realized that everyone who mentioned Agrimonia also had their posts eaten. Glad it's fixed now, thanks Scott!
Alcest and Heretoir are considered atmospheric black metal, yeah. (I've been listening to a lot of that stuff lately, but those are two albums that were my gateway into the genre.) I have not seen that film, but thanks for the tip!
John Talabot! I had that album on a longer version of my list. Glad to see it mentioned.
They also released a 5th anniversary edition that included ed2, but suddenly it's not on streaming services anymore. Worth checking out if you haven't already (and assuming you can track it down). "Kiss" is a great song.
A good underrated album from this decade: Miya Folick's Premonition!
Hey, I was glad to see Holy Fawn made your list. Death Spells probably would've made mine if I'd spent more time with. Luckily we've got each other's backs!
Yeah, it is a bit low. ;)
I had this saved in Notepad at one point, so hopefully it doesn't come out looking all weird-formatted. 1. Grimes - Art Angels 2. Yves Tumor - Safe in the Hands of Love 3.

Sweet, thanks for the recs, pals! Tucking into Evoken now. I'll work my way through the others later tonight (after I take my nieces trick-or-treating, a task which I will carry out with Eeyore levels of enthusiasm).
Thanks, I'll check it out! I've been going through this year's Black Markets, over the past week or so, picking through tracks and old recommendations like a vulture, trying to catch up. But I've mostly been sticking to ABM, so funeral doom recs are definitely welcome now. Evoken's one I haven't tried yet.
Also, glad to see some funeral doom made the cut this time around. That Profetus song has me feeling all https://66.media.tumblr.com/7c59693a3970801b4c30520472497c03/tumblr_poj5j1rcdG1vm5s4to1_500.gif I've been meaning to get more into that genre ever since Worm Ouroboros' What Graceless Dawn from a few years ago. Now's a perfect time of year for this stuff.
Looking forward to the new Obsequiae album later this month. Thanks to the September Black Market, I checked out their last one, Aria of Vernal Tombs. Based on the singles, I think the new one might end up being even better. Seems like it'd be some good mead-drinkin' music, if I were so inclined.
I found it! Gave you a good-faith thumbs up, but I didn't read the review because I haven't seen the film yet. I will do so next chance I get. Have you seen Prospect? That's a good recent indie sci-fi movie.
Oh, I can understand someone not liking Don't Look Now. I think it really stuck the landing, but up until the end, it doesn't feel like the most rewarding horror movie. (I think I initially heard of it because it's sampled in an M83 song, and decided to check it out.)
Years ago, Air France did a remix of Saint Etienne's "Spring", and the video was just clips from The Wicker Man, which I hadn't seen. So I bought the movie on DVD, and for some reason watched it with my mom. She did not like the final scene.
Oh shit, thanks for reminding me about House! That one is delightfully weird. As for Halloween, it's not my favorite. I included it mostly for the opening scene, and the rest of the movie doesn't quite live up to that for me. But it's still a classic.
I was 10 minutes late! Yeah, that movie's ending really freaked me out.
It Follows A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night Midsommar Repulsion Psycho Let the Right One In Possession The Wicker Man The Birds It Came From Outer Space The Witch The Fog Halloween The Shining Don't Look Now There are some good Twilight Zone episodes that also come to mind: The After Hours, Mirror Image, The Hitch-Hiker, Twenty Two, The Masks, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.
Yep, Werckmeister Harm/o/n/ies is one of my favorites. 38 shots for a 145 minute film! Even the dialogue-less walking scenes are entrancing. I haven't seen Gerry, but the idea of a comment being held in moderation because of a preference for Gus Van Sant over Bela Tarr cracks me up.
There's just something about Brendan Perry's reverb-laden vocals that really ushers in autumn for me. "The Carnival Is Over" is also especially great this time of year.
Hope things get better for you, pal. (I got off Twitter months ago.) Most of the albums I've liked this year have been out for a while now--Angelic Milk, Croatian Amor, Pure Bathing Culture, Black Belt Eagle Scout, Nilufer Yanya. You're probably already familiar with most of those albums. Chromatics and Charli will probably be up there as well. I've been listening to a lot of metal the past few days. Can't remember if you're much into metal, but Elizabeth Colour Wheel's Nocebo is a good oddball release from earlier this year that blurs some genres. And Ghostwriter's Burial is an album I'm looking forward to; it doesn't come out til late November, but I'm really excited for it after hearing the one single so far, "Devil".
Dead Can Dance's Within the Realm of a Dying Sun always hits the spot this time of year.
Yes! "Lucid Dreams", "C'est La Vie", and "Soul Glitch" are some of her best songs.
Damn, hope things get better for you. Hey, on the plus side, Chelsea Wolfe is playing your town tomorrow, so heads up. That's something to look forward to at least. (I won't be seeing her until November when she comes to Tucson.)
Did your original comment mention the har-m-o-n-i-ca solo? Because that series of letters triggers a mysterious filter 'round these parts.
"310 comments? Aw, how cute!" --the Number Ones commenters, probably
Off-topic, but Charles from the Wrens left a comment on that Record Store Day black Friday thread. Wasn't sure if people noticed.
Thanks! I just learned I share a birthday with Ariel. Well, Jodi Benson, anyway. Close enough.
Thanks for the b-day present, Charli!
Hi Charles! Yeah, my head's still spinning from reading all that label stuff. The important thing is, myself and others here are looking forward to the new one! (Especially bloc.) :)
There's one user review of High Life titled "Stars do not twinkle in space". There's another review that consists entirely of the sentence "Never have I seen so many bodily fluids in one film." Based on the strength of that last one, I have added the movie to my watch list.
